New groups of services

Form extra services into groups to make it easier for guests to navigate through large numbers of services. We added new default groups, so now there are 8 of them:

  • Food service

  • Parking lot

  • SPA

  • Programs for kids

  • Fun & Entertainments

  • Sports & Leisure

  • Rental services

  • Health resorts & Spa.

Service motivators

Motivators help website visitors to choose extra services in Booking Engine. Services with motivators stand out among others and draw the attention of website visitors. We added 5 types of motivators:

  • Sale

  • Bestseller

  • Book now

  • Families with children

  • Friends.

Updated payment types

We renamed payment types and added prompt messages so that you could choose the best possible payment type.

We replaced the “Per occupancy type per night” type with the “Per person per night” because it was not convenient for guests.

For the food service that you create on your own, you can choose any payment type from now.

 

Extra services wizard

The wizard consists of 4 steps, and it has for purpose to create extra services and make all the necessary settings. In the “Services” tab, click on the “Create service” button.

At this step, there may be additional settings that depend on the Extranet settings.

 

4. At the last step, write descriptions and upload a photo. Guests more often book extra services with photos and descriptions.
